2. Websites

On our websites, we make different types of data, information and applications available for access and download.

We are entitled to partially or fully discontinue the operation of our websites at any time. We furthermore assume no responsibility for the uninterrupted availability of our websites.

Some areas or services available on our websites may be password-protected. In the interest of safe and secure business transactions, access to these pages is therefore, in certain cases, only possible if you have previously registered. However, you have no legal claim to a registration.

We furthermore reserve the right to introduce pre-registration requirements for websites which up until now have been freely accessible.

3. Rights of use

The use of the content made available on our websites is subject to these terms and conditions as amended.

As a user, you are granted a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the information and applications made available on our websites within the scope of the individual special agreement.

Data, information, applications, brand names, images and other content may not be edited, changed, copied, modified, supplemented, duplicated, presented, sold, leased, rented out, lent or in any other way conveyed to third parties or exploited without our prior written agreement.

Any use beyond this (particularly of commercial nature) is impermissible without prior permission from the operator or the respective copyright holder. The user shall not be granted licences or rights of any nature additional to the rights of use explicitly granted, in particular to the company name and to other industrial property rights (such as brands, utility models, patents) or to the copyright.

5. Third-party websites (hyperlinks)

Our websites may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites.

We assume no responsibility for the contents of these websites, as these are not contents provided by us.

6. Web analysis service

Our websites use Matomo. This is a so-called web analysis service. Piwik uses so-called "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and allow us to analyse your usage of the websites. For this purpose, the usage information generated by the cookie (including your truncated IP address) is transferred to our server and stored for usage analysis purposes. This helps us in optimising our websites. During this process, your IP address is instantly anonymised to ensure that no one will be able to determine your identity.

The data and information generated by cookies on the usage of our websites is not passed on to third parties.

You can prevent the use of cookies through according settings in your browser software. This may, however, result in your not being able to fully use all functions provided by our websites.

If you do not agree to the storage and analysis of data related to your visit and usage of our websites, you can object to such storage and usage by clicking below. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser. As a result, Piwik will collect no session data.

We expressly draw your attention to the fact that if you delete your cookies, this will also result in your opt-out cookie being deleted. It would therefore then have to be re-activated by you.

7. Liability

If we provide data, information and applications free of charge, any liability for defects in quality or title are expressly excluded, unless premeditated or malicious behaviour on our behalf can be proven.

Any liability in cases other than the ones mentioned above requires proven intentional or grossly negligent behaviour on our part. In general, any liability on our behalf regarding indirect or consequential damages or loss of profit as well as loss or modification of data and information is excluded. Liability for personal injury arises already in the event of minor negligence.

While we strive to keep our websites free from viruses, we cannot guarantee the absence of viruses. Prior to using and downloading information or applications, you as a user must independently take the required protective measures, for example by establishing relevant security measures such as a virus scanner.

9. Miscellaneous

Ancillary agreements must be in writing.

In the event that any provision hereof should be or become ineffective or void, it shall not affect the validity of the remainder hereof. The ineffective or void provision will be replaced by a legally valid arrangement, which comes as close as possible to the commercial meaning and purpose of the ineffective or void provision. This rule applies mutatis mutandis to gaps.

The Austrian laws apply, with the exception of the referring statutes of international private law and the UN Sales Convention.

The place of performance and jurisdiction is Vienna, unless the case relates to a consumer transaction as per §1 of the Austrian Consumer Act (Konsumentenschutzgesetz).
